Until you actually show some benchmarks where the tests are clearly documented 
and Postgres is properly tuned, you're spreading FUD.  Your testing should 
also demonstrate real world performance (hundreds of connections, complex 
queries, etc.) or it's just marketing fluff, which is exactly what your 
links, including this one on market share are.  It's been stated time and 
time again that Postgres' default values are *very* conservative.

There's a reason that most people who actually try Postgres after years of 
using MySQL continue using Postgres, and it isn't because Postgres is a dog, 
as you state.
